Display image, audio, and video metadata fields—EXIF, ID3, and more—right inside the WordPress block editor, instantly and flexibly.

== Description ==

Your photos, songs, and videos hold more information than you might think—camera settings, recording details, dimensions, and more. WordPress quietly saves all of that data when you upload a file but doesn't make it easy to showcase it. X3P0: Media Data changes that.

Media Data introduces powerful yet simple blocks for showing metadata from any WordPress media file. Whether you're a photographer displaying EXIF details, a podcaster highlighting episode metadata, or an archivist cataloging digital assets, this plugin brings your media's data to the forefront—right from the block editor.

= Why You'll Love It =

- Display EXIF, ID3, and other file metadata directly in your posts or pages.
- Works with all standard WordPress media types: images, audio, video, and beyond.
- No coding required—just add blocks and select what to show.
- Highly flexible: rename or hide labels, mix fields, and adjust layout visually.
- Integrates seamlessly with any block theme.

= How It Works =

1. Add the Media Data block to any post or page.
2. Upload or select a media file from your library.
3. Automatically, common fields (like file name, size, and dimensions) appear.
4. Add Media Data Field blocks to display custom metadata like:
	- Camera model, exposure, and ISO
	- Audio artist, album, and duration
	- Video resolution, length, and codecs
5. Customize field labels directly in the editor, or manage them through sidebar controls.

X3P0: Media Data taps into metadata already stored by WordPress—no extra processing or plugins required.

= Perfect For =

- Photographers who want EXIF details under their images.
- Podcasters and musicians showing ID3 tags like track title and artist.
- Filmmakers or educators displaying resolution or duration info.
- Bloggers and archivists curating digital collections.

= Plugin GitHub Repository =

This plugin is developed within the [x3p0-dev/x3p0-media-data](https://github.com/x3p0-dev/x3p0-media-data) GitHub repository. You can find all of its source code there.

3. Front-end view that shows an audio player above the Media Data block.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this plugin work with all themes? =

Yes. It's fully compatible with block themes and works with classic themes using the block editor.

= Does it modify my media files? =

No, all metadata is read-only. Media Data retrieves information stored by WordPress and displays it dynamically.

= Can I display metadata outside of posts or pages? =

Absolutely. If you have a block theme or a classic theme that supports block templates or template parts, you can use the block. It can be placed in any block-ready content area.

= What about privacy or EXIF location data? =

You have full control over what fields appear—simply omit fields you don't want to display publicly.

= Does it support Block Bindings? =

Yes. If running WordPress 6.9 or newer, developers can add custom bindings for the `x3p0/media-data` block's `mediaId` attribute. This will automatically pass the ID to the nested field blocks.
